It's a good life, and having you to share the fun with makes it just that much better!<br /><br />Jean, I saw my very first jelly fish yesterday (I would have missed it if Ship Rock hadn't pointed it out), and thought of you, as I often do when I'm out and about. I don't know if I will catch Opee/Rose in her first flight, but I really hope that I'll at least be able to give you good news of a successful fledge. No guarantees in the tenuous world of wildlife, but the parents have done everything they can to start her off on the right path. (I am referring to her as a "she" for now, but the only thing I have to go on as the beginnings of what I perceive to be a "necklace" marking.)<br /><br />Henrik, thanks for your comment. Opee, huh? I'll have to check with my readers. The vote was for Rose or Pierre, depending on the gender. Have to admit, I do like Opee, as well. What a dilemma! I checked your site last evening, and was, once more, blown away. Today, I will bring the manual with me:)Black Jack's Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436115876996209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-3131536178404730582009-08-19T21:28:58.597-07:002009-08-19T21:28:58.597-07:00Hi Carol:

It is brilliant that you are able and willing to keep track of Opee (yeah, I've named her that). What a treat it is to have this marvel of nature to observe. We are very fortunate. <br /><br />You have a great blog too. I've bookmarked your site and will check back often. Congrats on the new camera as well.Henrikhttp://hnilsson.smugmug.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-13771256289816011772009-08-19T12:35:03.954-07:002009-08-19T12:35:03.954-07:00Such a happy blog - I smiled through every sequenc...Such a happy blog - I smiled through every sequence. I feel like I am right there watching Junior with you and holding my breath awaiting that first flight. <br />Nature indeed teaches us many lessons if we take the time to listen, watch, and learn.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231007979360748217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-7595663518111497692009-08-19T12:20:34.724-07:002009-08-19T12:20:34.724-07:00What a fantastic sequence of shots.

For example, I always believed that Junior's ability to fly would be imprinted in the genes. Now I see from these teaching moments that nurture plays a huge part. <br /><br />Your shots of Dad catching a fish and then shaking off water are just so beautiful. It seems a camera, a dog, new friends and urban wildlife makes for a very satisfying life.Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-14382779698992088172009-08-19T10:06:02.091-07:002009-08-19T10:06:02.091-07:00Junior is getting HUGE!
